    I thought I read somewhere that on some new Clevo-based builds, when you hibernated the computer (that's just closing it up and then opening it up again, right?) it would go into a max-fan mode (normally toggle-able), and one couldn't get the fan to snap out of that without a reboot. But now I can't find the discussion where I read that.

    A few questions:

    (1) What models does this affect?

    (2) How often does it happen? Every time you awake the computer from hibernation, or just occasionally?

    (3) Is there really no work-around besides rebooting?

    I'll be honest, I haven't heard anything about that but when I get mine on Monday I'll do a test and see if it does that for me.

    methinks you're are talking about a temporary fan boost at intial boot/wake up. my compal did it sometimes, and this clevo does it all the time. fan roars to life for about two seconds then chills out.

    I haven't heard about that problem, but I would imagine it's limited to a few machines in that case. I've never noticed that on my personal P150HM. Either way, that sounds like something a bios update would fix if it ever came up.

    I just hibernated my laptop (which is a suspend to disk, not a suspend to RAM like closing the lid does) and it didn't go into max fan mode. CPU got a little warm, but that's it. :)

    There was a thread (prob in owners lounge) where a few people experienced their fans being stuck on max speed after resuming from hibernation. Some one found the problem went away after upgrading their GPU drivers but I think that could be a coincidence. I don't ever get this problem and no one knows why it occurs or has a fix (as far as I know).

    Okay, sweet, sounds like I either didn't remember the conversation right, or it's not a widespread issue. Thanks everyone!
